    Excellent food in a cool, energetic atmosphere and the prices weren't too crazy. Feels like you're at a spot in Boston (which is a compliment). I would recommend to anyone.

    Had a great time. Ate at the bar. Bartenders were terrific! Talked to a lot nice people. You should try to make it at least one night when in Salem. Adrian

    Another amazing dining experience at the chefs’ table near the open kitchen ! We were a party of seven. We had several craft cocktails ( memorable was a gin “tea” served in a beautiful teacup), vintage grand cru champagne, wine, just about every hot or cold appetizer, oysters with caviar, popovers( must try) , carpaccio ( outstanding) , many beautifully prepared and delicious entrées ( my favorite is the mushroom Campanelli) plus each of us had dessert ( Mexican chocolate ice cream, sticky pudding and blueberry ice cream - all hand made). I’m a local resident and took my family here the weekend of Thanksgiving ! This is the best restaurant scene ever to happen in Salem! Can’t say enough great things about this establishment. Our waitress Martina was outstanding and so was our sommelier!

    Donna, Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review! We were so pleased to have your group join us and I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed everything! I look forward to your next visit soon. (You should try the bourbon butterscotch ice cream next time, it's my favorite!) Warm regards, Annie

    The restaurant was great. The food was outstanding: an order of popovers to start, a roasted duck breast for me, a baked salmon for my wife left us so full we couldn’t get to dessert. The parking was a challenge and it was pretty noisy but our server, Martina, was attentive and friendly so we were very happy with the whole experience and will definitely be back

    Dan, Thank you so much for your kind review! I always suggest the MBTA parking garage, it is a little bit of a longer walk but you are almost guaranteed to find a spot there. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed your food and service and we look forward to serving you again soon! Warm regards, Annie

    Service at the bar was incredible for brunch but the kitchen took 30 min for chicken & waffles and a burger.

    Great brunch place in Salem. Made a reservation and our table was ready; place was full so reservations are recommended. Food was delicious, and their daily donut was awesome. The ambiance was great, and seeing all the old bank scenery was cool.
